Information in a Board Report on a Branch Robbery

I am assuming you are from a small or medium size financial institution that has never or seldom been robbed. While no specific criteria has been established by regulations this is what I would recommend you prepare for your board.

1. The amount lost
2. Did law enforcement capture the robber
3. The type of robbery; note, robber with a gun or gang robbery.
4. If you have dye packs or GPS packs were they used? If not why?
5. The staff was offered and received psychological counseling and from what agency.
6. That agency certified that the victim teller could return to work.
7. Had all staff members been trained before the robbery. If someone wasn't trained why they were working.
8. Did law enforcement or the district attorney's office have any problems with our procedures?
9. What steps if any did we take to improve our security at this location?
10. Robbery statistics for your area which can be obtained from local law enforcement. If they can't help you, obtain the most recent robbery statistics from the FBI website.
